What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies

This website uses cookies to enhance user experience. Some cookies are necessary for basic functionality, while others are used for analytics or marketing purposes.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login info and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me”, login persists for two weeks. If you log out, login cookies are removed.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved. It includes no personal data and expires after one day.

You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or rent your personal data. Data may be shared with trusted third parties only when necessary for technical or operational purposes (e.g., hosting providers, email platforms, analytics), and always under agreements compliant with GDPR and CCPA.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For registered users (if any), we store the personal information in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also access and modify this data.

Your rights over your data

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except data required for legal or security purposes.

Under the GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California), you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate data
  • Request data erasure
  • Restrict processing of your data
  • Receive your data in a portable format
  • Object to data processing
  • Not be subject to automated decision-making

To exercise your rights, please contact us at: info@lucasfigueroa.com

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your data may be processed in countries outside the EU or U.S., but only by third parties offering adequate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
